This one really resonates. It provides so many insights into our relationship with our animal brethren. And sadly, where it is all going. It's hard to feel hopeful (as you have so often pointed out) with the bleak landscape we look at across the spectrum. For this week, I'd settle for avoiding another war in Europe.
Thanks, Bob. On the Ukraine front, I'm sure you have your own sources, but you might enjoy another Substack by Timothy Snyder called "Just Thinking..." and his latest post called "Ukraine and Russia: Is there a simple solution?" I think you know the answer there, but his critique seems excellent to me.
Beautifully written, Jason. Brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad I got to meet Mollie..she was special. As I told Heather, it was always so obvious how much you all loved each other. I'm sorry.
"The digital pets, animatronic sex dolls, and android companions that somehow seem inevitable in this bizarre future being constructed for us are the result of the same imagination that turned a wolf into a Pomeranian."
Very sad news about Mollie. She was a very sweet dog and I enjoyed seeing her when I would come to your house. Strange how it just never crossed my mind that she would be gone, at some point. Just envisioned her always being there. Saddened me greatly.
This is a wonderful writing. Humans are a strange breed, and getting stranger by the day.
Thanks for sharing -- sad news of Mollie and thoughts on pets and humanity that we can all relate to. As usual, well said!
